Keith Dalgleish had a strong contender in the previous race and both Livella Fella and Sattelac catch the eye in this - the latter is two from two at the track. Richard Fahey runs three and Siren's Cove chased home a subsequent winner at York last time, though Carlisle scorer Luna Mare probably has the most scope of the trainer's trio. Rahyah is possibly well handicapped and My Lucille started favourite at Hamilton last month, though dropped away in the closing stages. APRES MIDI had the run of the race when getting off the mark at Hamilton but she's by Galileo so the longer trip here will suit and she has more scope than the hat-trick seeking Age of Elegance and Sahara, who still appears in the handicapper's grip.
